I've been looking at a newer car recently. What something like a Golf, Leon Cupra, A3, Focus ST, or an Astra VXR. So that sort of size. Not sure what one tho on a budget of approx 15k.

As for MG's. All the trouble Fred's had with his, need i say more...

I love the shape of the new Leon Cupra. Not sure you are going to get a decent A3 for 15k.

Ah cool, the diesel's are supposed to be decent I think although I would never drive an oil burner! Get yourself a car from mainland Europe, my A3 V6 was about 11k Sterling!

Sippo, why not just go for a 307 2.0 HDI if you want a diesel.

I saw a minter, 2005 model at that car place on the A419 at lower blunsdon. Only £8500.

Fair enough.

Get a Leon Cupra then, same engine as the Golf but a few grand cheaper.

The new Focus ST is a nice car as well, but I would probably go for the Cupra as well, as Sam said, basically a Volkswagen but cheaper!

Magic, don't touch Rover/MG cars.

No offence to Fred or anything, just don't do it.

Stick to German or Jap cars for trouble free motoring.
